Surprise Birthday Party

Her measured steps in crimson walk,
. . . grass and sidewalk, blows with chalk,
Dark asphalt arrows, seem to know,
. . . as white slow smoke begins to grow,
In shadowed sun where children play,
. . . the cool winds blow the clouds away,
Before soft voice whispers, 'do not',
. . . peppermint burns when sipped too hot,
The place alive with birthday surprise,
. . . pits its wits against the days demise,
But it ends with darkness, black as night,
. . . the party's over and we must take flight.


The challenge was to use the words in this wordle to make a new poem
- I think I used them all!

Susannah, like the structure, the extended fragments as if one is simply walking through and catching a detail here and there. You used the words to good advantage, especially the peppermint. You appear to be a natural at this.
